I am currently legally married but separated.
I have a new partner that I live with in NSW and we want to apply for a Partner Visa for her ( Visa 820 ).
We do not meet the criteria for the minimum 12 month period for a de-facto relationship, but we can have this period waived if we register our relationship which we are happy to do.
Is there any way to register our relationship whilst I am still legally married ? If not, can I de-register my marriage ( prior to divorce ) ? and will this allow me to proceed ?
Many Thanks !
